If you do not have your own skates, no problem, you can rent one of the 4 000 pairs that Gorky Park has invested in for the season and if you do not feel to steady you can rent yourself some protective equipment as well :)

If you would like to get more out of the skating you can attend figure skating school and if ice skating is not really your cup of tea you can stroll around on the built bridges above the rink and look at other (often very skilled) skaters. Do not feel like being in the cold? Have dinner or coffee at one of the 4 restaurants on site or have a drink in the Ice Bar.

On the 17th of December a Christmas Fair and Design Market will open next to the ice skating paradise and you will be able to shop Christmas decorations, Christmas gifts and clothes designed by Russian designers.

The ice skating rink is open daily from 10:00 to 23:00 (closed for maintenance between 15:00 and 17:00) and if you have your own skates the entrance is free before noon, 150 rbl after noon and 200 rbl after 17:00.

To rent a pair of skates will cost you between 200 – 300 rbl and you will have to leave 1 500 rbl in deposit.
